Great location for exploring Bangkok. We rode the train from Chiang Mai and only had to walk across one street to get to Ellf’s place. The metro station (MRT) is a three minute walk and Chinatown is about 10 - 15 minutes away walking. The metal security gates are intimidating at first but we got use to them after a day or two. The common areas are on the first floor and the bedrooms are on floors two and three. Would definitely recommend staying here because of the convenient location.
